Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

The Cheeto has arrived on the House floor.

[Norm Lenhart]

Evil is as evil does.

[Envisioning]

Look at them, smiling, cracking jokes, patting each other’s backs as they consolidate their power and divide our wealth between themselves.

With the state of the country, economy and the world, there is no reason for ANY politician ANYWHERE to be smiling about ANYTHING ever! This is not a game! IMHO.

OCD is a treatable condition. Get help.

‘I believe in [miracles].’

Amen.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You’re expecting royalty to understand peasanthood. It doesn’t happen. Not in the world.

[Norm Lenhart]

Liberalism isn’t. You have my sympathy.

[INVAR]

I can't believe these people that feel like they just HAVE to come on here and tell everyone that there's no hope.

Putting your hope in a corrupted political party for your salvation is beyond stupid.

Maybe after this vote you may begin to understand the level of corruption that renders your faith in the GOP … misplaced.

[Seattle Conservative]

SCPAN2 is Senate - CSPAN is House - try that

[Norm Lenhart]

Nope. There is always an excuse to empower and excuse the GOP while clinging to ‘hope’ that they will ‘change’.

We will never begin to get on the right track with these people weighing conservatism down. Ever.

A tweet:

“daveweigel @daveweigel
Boehner glances at Yoho as he leaves the room, keeps walking. No handshake.”

LOL!

It appears that I will be nominated for Speaker of the House. I am humbled and honored by the confidence many of my colleagues have placed in me

[matt04]

Excellent.

[Uncle Miltie]

"Yes, Britt, I did smear Cheeto coloring all over my face this morning"

[ozarkgirl]

but publicly, there are only 15 Cheeto-crunchers.

And you know the Dems have a few in their pocket that will be willing to vote Boehner if it comes down to that.

The dems do get to vote don't they? Dems want Boehner and if that's what it takes, they'll do all they can to keep him.

I don't understand how that works, it will be a Republican because we have the majority but do the dems vote for their favorite Republican or do they vote present or what? I guess they need the Dems to be there for a quorum don't they? (Not asking you Laz, just anyone that knows)

[txhurl]

YES!

[LostInBayport]

There is some Oompa Loompa in there too.

[Jane Long]

Poe’s office just told me he’s undecided.

I told them he needs to DECIDE if he’s a conservative or a RINO....that the MAJORITY is sick and tired of Bonehead handing 0bola EVERYTHING he wants....and, that’s NOT what we sent them all there to do, this past Nov.

Oh, and to #FireBoehner!
